MUHAMMAD ALI - GREAT BOXER - GREAT MAN

Muhammad Ali passed a few days ago. He was a great boxer and perhaps an even greater man and certainly a loss to the world at large.

Though I am not religious by nature and despite the fact that my beliefs have changed many times over the course of my life this quote spoke to me. Whether I personally "believe" or not it has always seemed to me incredibly sad and dichotomous that a large number of the wars our species has fought, and continues to fight, have been conducted in the name of religion.

Ali's words from his autobiography "The Soul Of A Butterfly" certainly ring true to me!

PERSEVERANCE - A MOTIVATIONAL MESSAGE

We have all seen the motivational posters that have become an iconic part of the workplace. Do they actually work? Who knows?

Recently I was interviewing to fill a staff position and one character trait I look for is perseverance; the tenacity to go after it even in the face of difficulty and challenge. That character trait popped into my mind as I was watching a video on Youtube this morning. For some reason I then felt oddly motivated [pun intended] to create this motivational [or not] poster highlighting perseverance.



For the record the image is a screenshot from this video of an amazing "stand still" tornado.
